With the debt ceiling fight in the rear-view mirror, the 2024 presidential race is beginning to heat up. Former Vice President Mike Pence and former New Jersey Gov. Chris Christie are both probably jumping in the race this week.
Meanwhile, in Iowa, former President Donald Trump and Florida Gov Ron DeSantis are taking shots at one another, while former South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley, Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC), and others try to make their cases.
Where does this leave us? We'll also talk about events in Israel, where a rogue Egyptian policeman appears killed three Israeli soldiers, and the Netanyahu government faces the task of judicial reform. Author Abigail Shrier was also confronted by left-wing radicals as she tried to present her book, "Irreversible Damage," in Tel Aviv. The world lost pro-Israel journalist Claudia Rossett. And President Biden rolled out an antisemitism "strategy" -- will it work?
There's also a new organization, founded by Jewish conservatives, to confront both George Soros -- and the idea that criticizing Soros is antisemitic. So, in a week that marks the anniversary of D-Day and the Six-day War... join us!

I should have noted in my message about the weekly Torah portion that this week is Shabbat Chazon, the Sabbath of Vision. We are about to mourn -- but see through that pain to something better that lies beyond, on the other side.
Wishing you the best vision -- and an incredible reality to follow. It happens!
We begin the final speech of Moses to the people of Israel before they enter the Promised Land. He relates the ups and downs of the years of wandering in the desert, before, finally, the people have the merit to enter the land itself.
This Sabbath always precedes Tisha B'Av, the Ninth of Av, the saddest day on the Jewish calendar. It is the anniversary of the destruction of both of the Holy Temples, and a catch-all for many calamities that befell the Jewish people.
A word on Tisha B'Av. This year I am leaving for an overseas trip during the afternoon of the holiday -- in the middle of a fast day. Not idea, but there was no other choice. But my flight is in the afternoon, which is significant.
We relax some of the harsh, mournful customs of the day in the afternoon. We start to pray normally; we sit on regular chairs; we start to have hope again in the redemption that will, one day, lead us all back from exile to our home.
I'll be taking a trip to a land where an important part of ...
President Trump is in Scotland, playing golf and making big trade deals -- a major deal with the EU, in fact. Meanwhile, there is a global outcry about humanitarian aid to Palestinians (not about the Israeli hostages, mind you).
On top of that, Democrats are at their lowest polling numbers ever -- so they are trying to win control of the House by redistricting in the middle of a 10-year Census cycle. Oh, economic optimism is up, so they have a tough road.
And Tulsi Gabbard's revelations about the Russia collusion investigation make it clear that Obama's lieutenants lied to Congress. How deeply was he himself involved? The media continue to ignore the evidence, but we certainly won't.

Frances Martel - Breitbart News foreign editor, on Trump abroad and Russia
John Spencer - urban warfare expert, on humanitarian aid and war in Gaza
